One of the reasons why I'm holding on to my Strix preorder

Because it will go nicely with your Corsair H100?

lol

While I like red too, total red is just to much. Nvidia need to make their reference cards RGB. Hope this happens on 11 series?

Ben @ EVGA

can you give some idea how large the first batch of FTW will be?

How many FTW's are you sending to europe and what size batch is going to OCUK?

Would also like to know this please!

 

[bigmunkey3741]

Any news on the Zotac AMP/ AMP Extremes yet? :O
i have the whole of next week off work.. I WANNA PLAY !!

 

[Ben @ EVGA]

Would also like to know this please!

Confirmed this morning, first round OCUK allocation on GTX1080 FTW is 50 units to arrive as promised next Wednesday/Thursday worst case.

I would expect to follow with another shipment of similar size or slightly bigger the week following

Other select partners in Europe will also receive first allocation same day along with EVGA EU store.

Thanks
Ben

Are SC numbers similar?

Plenty of cards in stock, just switch buddy as the custom cards seem to do little to nothing for OC ability as lower nm process does not benefit from voltage or power phase unless on extreme LN2 cooling.

Custom cards this time are all about coolers and aesthetics as lower nm process and GPU Boost 3.0 loves low temperatures, this is why Gainward, Palit and Inno3D are so strong this round as their coolers are better. Also AIO and waterblocks are great for Pascal as then they boost in the 2.1-2.2GHz region.

Strictly speaking not totally true is it, considering you have no idea what custom bios might do for the ability to over volt the cards... Dual bios is a good thing if you plan on doing that, as I do.

Doesn't matter what it looks like, i'm removing the stock cooling anyway, its the potential of what I can do with it in future that counts.

I was going to buy a 1070 today, but have couldn't stop myself from ordering a 1080 FTW. Saw it for 599.99 on another site and couldn't resist. Don't know what the incoming stock/pre-order situation is like on that site though, so may end up waiting but it's the cheapest price I can find for the model.

This custom bios has become like AMD "drivers will fix everything".

Even if comes and the 1080 becomes voltage unlocked, you're still getting what - 50 Mhz? 1 Frame?

If you were joining the queue here today, it seems like it will be a while yet at the 50pc per week that Ben mentioned earlier. Not sure what the situation in the jungle is like, but probably safe to assume its similar to here.

For some people overclocking is part of the fun. Diminishing returns maybe, but if you've got a full loop already and enjoy that side of things I can see why you might want to hold out for a better clocker etc.

Yeah, that is my fear. I can be quite impatient sometimes, so cancelling my order and getting one that is in stock may still happen

only 50 FTW, sigh.....

Yeah, if FTW are anywhere close to being as popular as Strix, there might be 500 pre orders on ocuk alone.

 

[Gerard]

only 50 FTW, sigh.....

That was a certainty almost, just like the 980ti hybrid for some reason producing these cards takes forever.

 

[bigtasty]

My Oculus turns up today and I'm 160ish down the line for the FTW

I've managed to get hold of a banged up 970 to keep me going. I reckon at least another three weeks at the rate these FTW's are being shipped...
